[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 467698, member: 3419"] The jury is still out, but from what I've read and experienced first-hand, I'd say the genes can be transmitted from either parent, with-a good dose of environmental factors thrown in. Having met my son's bmom and grandmother, I think they are both Aspies. However, the grandmother is divorced and neither she nor the bmom will say anything in detail about the ex-h, so there is a problem there. Also, the bio dad has many of the same traits difficult child has; excel at something, become a star, come crashing down. Inconsistent, no motivation. His father is an alcoholic and his parents are divorced. Sadly, I think difficult child got all the bad genes from both sides. Except for his looks. I've often said, if he weren't so cute, I would have killed him by now. :) [/QUOTE]
